Menu Plan Monday: 1 Adar, 5770

I created a pretty comprehensive master list of everything we eat and then I handed it to Elisheva, and told her to pick anything.

Pretty predictable: she chose an all-out steak supper, pea soup, herb bread, oven-roasted potatoes; the works.

So now I have to figure out when to fit that in; tough in a money-tight week, but we’ll find a way. Probably Wednesday, which works well because it’s also her early day home from school.

Monday: ~~Buttery/beery onion soup~~ with breadsticks, scalloped potatoes w/fake crab & mushroom soup.

SOUP DISASTER! Something (the strong-flavoured beer?) made the soup really bitter and after over an hour of preparing it, I had to throw the whole thing away and prepare…

Emergency miso soup: four cups of water with chicken soup mix, boiled, turn off heat, toss in four cut-up green onions, 4 tbsp dark red miso (whisking the miso into half a cup of plain water first so it doesn’t clump). Whisk, serve with a dot of toasted-sesame oil… delicious! (everybody had seconds)

Tuesday: Indian curry meal – two kinds of curried things, rice and/or poori/naan

Wednesday: Elisheva’s steak supper – steak, potato/bread, pea soup

Thursday: Zucchini/veg purée soup, oven-fried rice w/veg mixed in

Shabbos: ha ha ha ha… too far off to even speculate.

Are Jews an "underrepresented community" in children’s publishing?

I applied for a writing award yesterday. I'm not going to get it, but that's not what I wanted to share with you. Here's what I wanted to share. This box: I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white. Because as everybody knows, Jews control the media. (do we???) If anything, some people say, Jews are over -represented in publishing. And yet. Some definitions are careful not to include people like me. Like this random definition from the State of California which defines underrepresented for some very specific business purposes as: "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identi
